1. Different Types of
Vertigo

2. Introduction to Vertigo
Vertigo is a sensation of spinning or dizziness. It can be caused by various factors such as inner
ear problems, migraines, or vestibular disorders. Symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, and
difficulty walking. Understanding the different types of vertigo is crucial for accurate diagnosis
and treatment.

3. Peripheral Vertigo
Peripheral vertigo is often related to inner ear
issues such as benign paroxysmal positional
vertigo (BPPV), Meniere's disease, or vestibular
neuritis. It is characterized by sudden and intense
episodes of dizziness, often triggered by specific
head movements.

4. Central Vertigo
Central vertigo is associated with problems in the
central nervous system, such as brainstem or
cerebellar disorders. Symptoms may include long-
lasting dizziness, difficulty with coordination, and
potential neurological deficits.

5. Positional Vertigo
Positional vertigo, including BPPV, is triggered by specific head movements or changes in body
position. It is often caused by displaced calcium crystals in the inner ear, leading to brief but
intense episodes of spinning dizziness.

6. Vestibular Migraine
Vestibular migraines are a type of migraine that
can cause vertigo and other vestibular symptoms.
Individuals may experience episodic vertigo,
often accompanied by headache, sensitivity to
light, and sound.

7. Conclusion
Understanding the different types of vertigo is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective
management. Proper evaluation by healthcare professionals, including audiologists and
neurologists, is essential for identifying the underlying cause and providing appropriate treatment.
